嵐山 竹林の小径と侍たち⚔ Arashiyama Bamboo grove path and Samurai ⚔

Osaka no Jin⚔Before participating in the war, there was an angel at Osaka Castle with a free hug sign hanging from his neck. The samurai refused the angel's hug, not wanting to taint it... and the angel made a sad face. The expression on his face is like watching a loved one die right in front of your eyes. The samurai wanted to protect this purity. However, he could not say anything lightly to the angel whose whole body was crying. The angel said as he wiped away his tears as if he had distilled only trust and goodwill towards others. "Thank you very much for today... but... Samurai-san and I... are not... friends yet." Angel was desperate. ``How can I become your friend?'' He handed me a homemade shuriken origami. His hands were shaking. The samurai had no words to answer, and was unable to look into the angel's eyes... A stifling voice came out of the man's mouth as he remained face down. The samurai was crying. Then, he gently hugged the angel. 大阪の陣⚔参戦前に大阪城で首からフリーハグの看板を下げている天使がいた。 天使が求めるハグを、侍は汚したくない思いで断った… すると天使は悲しい顔をした。 大切な人が目のまえで死んでいくのを見るような表情である。 侍はこの純真さを守ってやりたかった。 だが、全身で泣いている天使に軽々しい言葉はいえなかった。 人への信頼や善意だけを蒸留したよう天使は涙を拭きながらいった。 「今日は… どうも… ありがとう… でも、まだ… お侍さんと… 僕は… お友達じゃ…… ないんですよね」 天使は必死だった。 「お友達には… どうしたら… なれますか」とお手製の手裏剣の折り紙を手渡してくれた。 彼の手は震えていた。 侍には返す言葉がなく天使の目を見ることができずに… 伏せたまま男の口から、押し殺すような声が出ていた。 侍は泣いていた。 そして、天使をそっと抱きしめた。

Thatched village in Miyama, Kyoto It is a famous composition and a classic, but it is a place that can be said to be the gateway to Miyama I would like to see this wonderful scenery for many years to come, but when I come to the countryside, I always feel that it can be preserved forever, especially in areas with a large number of elderly people due to the declining birthrate, and I have been to the museum, but it is difficult to maintain it, and I feel that it is very difficult for the people who will inherit this history to pass it on to future generations.

Among the samurai, learning about shame was the first step in childhood education.
